The founders

Two Exact veterans, one shared frustration: Subscription metrics should not come out of Excel.

Duncan Hobeijn and Timo van Noppen first met at Exact, just as Exact Online was becoming the standard for Dutch SMEs. Years later they decided to finally build the solution they had always wanted for themselves: RecurBoard.

Who we are

The people behind RecurBoard

Tech, finance and security. Twenty years of Exact DNA. And a shared conviction that a SaaS company should not have to piece its numbers together from scratch every month.

Co-founder · SaaS CFO

Duncan is a seasoned SaaS CFO. He was Finance Director Cloud Solutions at Exact and went on to help build several Dutch SaaS scale-ups, from fintech to healthcare software. Throughout those years he kept running into the same puzzle: how do you get your financials and insights cleanly out of your administration without spending half a day in Excel?

At every SaaS company I joined it was the same old song: build dumps, copy columns, double-check formulas. And then that nagging feeling about whether it was actually right. Time to build it properly.

Co-founder · Software, platform & security

Timo has spent more than two decades building software that has to run rock-solid, nothing less. At Exact he led DevOps, quality assurance and information security for Exact Online, a platform used daily by hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs across Europe. He then served as Senior Director DevOps & Information Security at BlueConic, where he was responsible for SOC2 programmes and protecting customer data at enterprise scale.

Good SaaS metrics should arise automatically from your administration, not from a spreadsheet that someone has to update again every month. That is exactly what we built.

01At Exact, just a stone's throw apart

At Exact, Timo led DevOps, quality assurance and information security for Exact Online. Duncan steered the finances of that same Cloud division. Two people who watched Exact Online grow and who knew what it looked like under the hood. That is where the foundation for RecurBoard was laid, long before it had that name.

02The same puzzle at every scale-up

After Exact, Duncan worked as CFO at several SaaS companies; fintech, ed-tech, healthcare software. A different team, a different market, a different growth stage every time. But one thing never changed: there was no standard, off-the-shelf way to get SaaS metrics out of Exact Online.

So every month it became the same ritual all over again. Build dumps. Copy columns. Double-check formulas. A few hours a month, at every company, in every country. And after all that work, the same question always kept nagging: is this actually right?

03That is why RecurBoard exists

In 2025, Duncan and Timo called each other again. The combination made sense: a CFO who knows SaaS metrics inside out, and an engineering leader who knows how to build reliable software on top of existing administrations.

RecurBoard is what they had always wanted for themselves. A dashboard that reads straight from Exact Online and automatically calculates your MRR, churn, NRR and cohorts, alongside your financial figures, in one overview. Got a specific question? Ask AI and get an answer right away, in plain language. No dumps. No spreadsheets. No doubt. Just numbers you can steer by.

What we believe

Four beliefs that drive everything we build.

01

One source of truth, not four copies.

Numbers belong in the source. Not in a spreadsheet that has to be updated again every month and where no one knows which version is the latest anymore.

02

SaaS deserves SaaS metrics.

MRR, churn, NRR and cohorts are the standard. Not something to figure out from scratch every month. A SaaS company should have those numbers ready at any moment.

03

Built for SMEs.

We know Exact Online inside out and the entrepreneurs who work with it. That is where we make the difference. Not a translation of an American tool, but a solution for your administration.

04

Security is not an extra, it is the foundation.

Your administration is sensitive information. RecurBoard follows the security standards we previously set up ourselves at Exact Online and other SaaS platforms. DevSecOps, encryption and least-privilege as the starting point.
